Yum! Apple kimchi sounds great!
It seems to be getting colder by the hour here! 
Got my radio injection early afternoon for a bone scan later in the day to help the docs figure out WTF is going on with my ancient injury that’s been creating so much trouble 
.
Not only did the radio tech play David Bowie at my request, but a spectacularly bright and perfectly circular full moon on the drive to the hospital also more than made up for it all 
I’d spontaneously floated the idea of a Sichuan jour fixe with my chile heads tonight, but my PIC woke up with some minor crud this AM & wasn’t feeling it, plus it was a fairly small group due to the short notice. Decided to cancel and try again with a healthy dude & a bigger crowd next week 
However, I was still very much in the mood for Sichuan & so we ordered delivery from the restaurant we were going to visit. We got pork dumplings in chili oil as our app, 6 of them the size of a baby’s fist (we have 2 left),
super-cuminy cumin lamb, and the “house” spicy chicken aka Chongqing chicken
for our mains. My dude was healthy enough to make up the remaining baby bok choy in the fridge so we didn’t have to order a veg dish on top of everything. Prices have gone up 
‘twas very tasty, and of course we have leftovers. Again

Nigella’s chicken and sausage tray-bake. Using about a 1/4-to-1/2-recipe for the two of us, I use a Le Creuset braiser on the stove-top to first brown the chicken thighs – skin-side down - before turning the chicken skin-side up and adding the remaining ingredients. Everything finished off in the oven with a baste half-way through.
Good stuff. Any leftovers to be repurposed into breakfast cakes.

that’s a gorgeous pot of food!
Thank you! It’s one of our favorite dishes. The orange and oregano go so well together.

Fried rice with things that needed to be used up in my fridge: a carrot, a yellow pepper, a red chilli, some leftover sausage. The colours are pleasingly autumnal.

Thanks. It is pretty tasty! 
It was a nice departure from the standard. And a good snack if you don’t mind some powerful breath after.

Baked BLSL chicken breast and romaine salad with grape tomatoes, cucumber and garlic stuffed green olives. I never buy BLSL breasts, but they were on sale so I couldn’t resist. I’ll probable go back tomorrow and grab a few more packs.

Try it! I used the first recipe I stumbled onto online. It’s for a fresh kimchi to be eaten in 10 days or so. It isn’t intended to last for weeks. I think we are going to make a 1-2 batch each of cuke and of radish kimchi this weekend since it’s been a month that we’ve run out of our cabbage one.

Was going to do a chicken-broccoli pizza, but pivoted to a chicken-broccoli-caramelized onion calzone with Alfredo sauce. Shredded some of the roast chicken from the weekend (freezing the rest), roasted some broccoli florets and chopped them up. The homemade Alfredo sauce I found could have used some oomph, but not bad.
There was wine.
And I just noticed that the slits in the calzone dough shows a scared face. 
#foodfaces. That could be a fun thread. Will start one.
